Bloody Monday

It seems an extra long time since I have written. Nothing catastrophic has happened, except that four beautiful dogs were put down at RCACP (the Regional Center for Animal Control, for Roanoke, Salem and Vinton.) 4 dogs put down at the local pound, doesn't seem like a shocker...but having dogs put to sleep on a Saturday, is unusual. It is not the usual day, and no calls were made to rescue organizations that the dogs were "urgent", which is usual.

This is Gabby, just before she was euthanized:

One of the pound volunteers saw the other cages empty, grabbed Gabby and ran outside for one last ball throwing time together...in the sunlight.

Here are the four dogs put down altogether:

I can hardly write, thinking of this injustice on the part of the pound's new director, David Flagler. Hired by your local municipalities to, protect and serve, with compassion and conservation.

Please Spay and Neuter. PROTEST.
